What is wastewater energy recovery and how does it apply to the future of energy efficiency and decarbonization? In this course, we will explore how this previously overlooked source of energy loss from buildings can be utilized to endlessly recover and recycle energy within projects ranging from individual multifamily residential buildings to commercial and industrial applications and even to district energy networks. Wastewater heat recovery and transfer technologies used in small- and large-scale applications are also discussed, with case studies showcasing the practical applications and garnered benefits.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Recognize the shift in energy demands with new building practices and where energy losses still occur, as well as the latent energy.
- Potential of wastewater and the properties that make it a valuable energy resource, contributing to energy conservation and sustainability.
- Explain how wastewater energy recovery aligns with sustainable market demands.
- Examine small-scale localized solutions like HPWHs, identifying some practical applications.
- Examine large-scale applications and Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) technology, recognizing some practical applications and groundbreaking initiatives in sustainable urban planning.
